2dn colposcopy for CIN 1; Dr. said things fine, but drops of blood on condom 4 days later

On Thursday the 1st of April, I went in for a second colposcopy because the Pap came back abnormal for the second time. I saw the same doctor. He told me he needn't perform a biopsy because it is common for it to have not cleared up and the health center sent me as standard procedure. But he gave me discharge papers and said I don't actually have to follow them since he didn't do the procedure, though I believe he was only referring to the biopsy rules now. He said I could go on as normal. So I had sexual intercourse with my boyfriend for the first time in 1 month (we had issues; hadn't had sex in between). We used protection. It had only been four days (colposcopy on Thursday, sex on Monday). When we were having intercourse, it seemed like I was a little sore on I think my cervix (can't tell). When he withdrew completely, there was what appeared to be two small slightly flowing droplets of blood on the condom at the head of his penis. Otherwise, I was in no pain.

I know I may have had intercourse too early, but I guess I may have misunderstood him. But is that normal after a colposcopy or is this an indication of something else? Again

- I hadn't had sex in a month
- he's the only guy I've been with in more than three months and it was always protected
- I just had a pap which was why I was sent there, so nobody either there or during the colposcopy said anything looked wrong, plus I was checked for chlamydia and they tested my urine (standard procedure)

Is that normal? Thanks.

I was going to move this elsewhere but when I checked the forum I wanted to move it to, I saw that there isn't anyone there regularly answering posts :(


It's not unusual to have some blood. You had a procedure that can cause irritation to your sensitive vaginal skin and cervix. Even though you didn't have the biopsy done, it's still best to wait a little longer than you did before resuming sex.  At this point, give it a couple of days more before you have sex again and things should be fine.

PS - yeah, I will definitely hold off on intercourse. But like I said, I may have misunderstood him. What he said to ignore may have only referred to the biopsy aftercare rather than the colposcopy aftercare.

I hadn't had any sexual contact since my bf a month ago and have only been with him for two months prior to that and always with a condom. When I had my pap March 2nd, they checked for chlamydia and they also of course saw inside my vagina. The doctor said there were no changes and it had only been six months so since my cervix looked the same then I should be fine; that was last Thursday. Perhaps I am being paranoid (or maybe not), but is it likely it was because of the colposcopy that there were those two droplets of blood when he withdrew?

Generally, you are suppose to wait atleast a week after such procedures before having intercourse. I would certainly wait a little longer now before having intercourse again so that your body can heal and proper diagnoses can be made if you have any other symptoms.
